That was set to MPlayer. I tried setting it to both gstreamer and xine.
The clip I fed it includes quite a lot of night photography - very dark
backgrounds. Neither handled it well. Xine stuttered. Gstreamer gave
what looked like a series of stills. I fed the same clip to DragonPlayer.
It sailed smoothly through the whole of that night stuff. There's just no
competition.
If you're playing through MPlayer you're playing through whatever mplayer
is
using. Try setting the source to Phonon. See if that helps.
